1Tpon tlie resolutions with respect to tlie
character of Shivery, nrnl the relation of tho
Church thereto, Parker Pill.-lnny remarked:
It aecina to mo well to begin with l!io
rtvowul, thnt there is nu aneli thing ns sin, if
Slavery is not n sin. There is tin almost
lota misapprehension on the part of the
people gene rally, of the character of shivery,
I do not helievu it is possible, for a politician
to comprehend thu heighth mid length and
breadth of tho crime of slavehohling. Wc
lo not know whnt is tlie value of man. If
we did, we could then tell somewhat of the
amount of guilt thnt must stuin the ehnracter
of him who would enslave n limit. We es
timate n horse nt, any n hundred dollar", n
thecp tit two. If a miin can estimate these,
and then stent n horse or sheep, we run esti
mate his guilt, ntii treat him accordingly.
Whoever steals n home worth a hundred
dollars, goes to prison a yenr, perhaps longer.
Now if thnt is justice, who can tell what
ahnll lie doun to him who steal n mini?
Hut by such estimates bs these, we can only
approximate the reality, for who euu tell
what number of dolhirs, or thousands of
dollars, man should be ruled at. I know of
but one way to nrriva nt anything like n just
conclusion in this matter, mid thnl is, to place
ourselves in the position of slaves. How
much gold would it take to hire nny of you
to become a colored man or woman, assum
ing at the same time, nil other difficulties
nuil inconvenient' ies belonging to such a
position. ' We hear a great ileal of the gold
mines of California; hut if nil the mountain
ranges were one solid muss of gold, it would
be a sninll inducement it uiiy ouu to take
sush a position. This is hut a feeble illus
tration, but we cannot cnlculutclhu value of
manhood in uny belter way. There is not
eohl enough in tho woi hi to hii u n man of
you to send a son or daughter into slavery.
Liberty is valuable, because it makes mini
valuablu, Mali is valuahlo only ns he is lieu.
If you cannot compute tho value of man,
you cannot compute tho value of freedom.
I wish we could take such a view of man
i
as we ought. Nothing is so cheap as man,
nothing is valued so little. Anil I am a Ira id
we have valued uiun so little, for. so long n
time, that he has become actually worth hut
little. And judging ourselves by our great
men, I do not know ns there is much mis
take in this mutter. It poems to mo ns if
DjIi'I Webster is not worth much, as at pi es
cut occupied. I do not know of n muii who
could be bettor spared. If Shiveiy could be
wiped out by thu sacrifice of n man, I know
of none who can bu spared better ihnn he
ilut I look upon Aim us great in his ruins.
We cross oceans and truvcrso continents, to
explore the ruins of the great cities of the
deserts, but yet we Aught to know, while
admiring these magnificent ruins, thut the
meanest slave that sweat, and toiled, mid up
lieuved tlioso magnificent monuments, was
of infinitely more vuluo than nil those cities,
in the zenith of their glory. We look upon
the works of creation, and admire our lolly
mountains und splendid cataracts, und in
them trace the mighty hand of him who
created them, but when we stand on the
brink of Niagara, and behold its mighty
grandeur, we must remember that thn small
est tear that falls upon the cheek of a slave
child, is of much more value than all tho
cataracts that God has ever formed, it is
only by such illustrations, that wo can hopo
to arrive at the value of man, We might
compare him with his Creator, and it would
be no sacrilege. Whut is niun hut the im-
nreea and iinaue of the divine ? What is
man but God daguerreolyped on the polished
mirror of the human f'aeo ? Man is Divinely
descended. We have heard tiie children of
kings and conquorerB spoken of ns mean
and idiotic. What if they are. We are not
tha children of audi, we are more royally
descended, we trace our birthright up to the
Great God himself. Wa are bia offspring.
his descendants in a proper line, and who
ever lays his hand upon one of Ills children
and enslaves him, might ns well lay hands
upon God and enslave Him. The bIuvo
code has written that the child shall follow
tho condition of his mother, God's law pro
vides that thu child shall follow the condition
of his Father in heaven. Now what n crime
Is Slavery, estimating a man thus. Our diffi
culty is, I think that wo do not thus value
num. Nothing is so cheap under heaven
wa have murdered and mangled man so
long, have hired him for a shilling a day to
be shot nt hung him on the gallows, nnd
treated him thus in so many forms, thnt we
cannot conceive of tho degree of iniquity
there is in enslaving him. If the slaveholder
could but view man us God views him, 1 tell
you, he would coll upon the rocks nnd
mountains to rover him, ns is represented iu
tho Apocalyptic vision. I wish it wcro poss
ible for us to como into some just apprehen
sion of man und then we would understand
souii.whnt tho enormity of thn crime, and thn
measure of the guilt of sluvcholding. I said
nothing hi o cheap. Why when :nan un
dertakes to improve an iiliimal, what pains
he takes, ha even crosses oceans und goes
clear down to Cochin China to improve the
blood of ham-yard fowls, mid nt thnt very
moment, his children mo dying beforo they
come to tho age of livo years, through his
ignorance nnd neglect; nnd yet it is not
thought of. Man Is not estimated so highly
us thu beasts of the field. Such oro not
competent to estimate the chnrorter of Shi
very, nnd 1 am afraid that while we hold
such views, we shall not do much fir its
overthrow. Our resolutions sny Slavery is a
sin, the greatest sin. Now wc Gcnd a man
w ho commits one crime to prison, another to
tho gallows, thus having our degrees in
crime ; ami yet we iniike tho man in whoso
guilt, is garnered up the guilt of tho violution
of every law which God has mndu, the most
honorable man in tho nation. And the
South calls upon us to fall upon our fuecs
nud adore nod admire her mnitnniiimily.
w hen she roiisenlB that a man bo a candidate
for tho Presidency, who is not nu owner nnd
buyer nnd breeder of his fellow men for Iho
miuket. This is tho way we estimate crime.
Now in this Convention wo have got lo
hrriud Slavery ns the crime of nil crimes.
The slaveholder ns thu criminal of nil crim
inals, nnd the government that will regard
him as fit to he in the government, ns viler
than the vilest nf ull the despotisms of the
old world. Tho government that will rec
ognize him nt nil, is a government as much
to be execrated ns nny tyranny tho world
ever saw. There is not n muii in Ohio, who
would give his son or daughter ns thu price
of this Union. Hut wo nro paying millions
of sons nnd daughters as tho pi ice. Oh,
when ue come to estimate man ns we ought,
there will hu no w ish merely to separate the
Federal government from slavery. No, wo
will sooner sit down with n coneluvo of
devils, than with men coming up from slu
very, steaming with blood and tears, to leg
islate for (ho interests of the human race !
Thn man who will sit thus, does nut know
thu value of man or of liberty.
I would not talk w ith the slaveholder about
Habeas Corpus, trial by jury, etc. If n man
tells me he is a slaveholder, I w ill brand him
ns the veriest wretch this hide of thu prison
gules of hell, if not beyond. Sit down w ith
him to legislate for the interests of limn !
No. And w hen wu como to estimalu mail
might we shall not think of such n thing.
Our nation is a monument of crucifixion of
conscience nnd a total annihilation of moral
character. Wo have played with theso top
ics too long. Wo ought lo take hold of tho
root of the mutter, and learn how fur slave
holding is a crime, and learning this wo
shnll learn to cast those guilty of it, forth ns
vagabonds from human society, till a the
first great murderer, they are constrained to
say, " My punishment is greater than euu
hear." lint na long ns ho is welcomed to
the Church, und the Governmental platform,
who can expect he will abandon his crimes.
It is lime wo began at the root of tho mailer.
And 1 would to Ilea von, we could begin
where every other Convention bus left off,
and go on till we brand every man with
universal detestation, who dares thus lid his
hund uguiust his brother limit.

ON TIIE SUBJECT Or FINANCK REMARKED!
, I want rny good will for the W. A. S. So'
ciety understood, mid I dusiro to show
especially iu this mailer of sustaining
operations. I know notwithstanding I am
politician and hnve become n Lihorly party
tnun, thut the pioneers of this A. S. move
inent, the men upon whom this cause rests
most fully, those who will have to bear the
burden and heat of the day, ore those who
are connected with this Society. 1 know
that political action ia necessary only in tho
it
its
a
rear of public aenliincnt, and whenever pub
lic sentiment is strongly anti-slavery enough,
then will be generated a pnrty who will
crystnlizo" ns Wendell riiillips snid, " this
sentiment into law." I think I understand
the philosophy of Reform well enough to
know that the man or society which utters
the truth most pointedly, nnd applies it most
closely nnd stringently to thn public mind,
no matter If a small minority, thnt man or
body is doing most to pronioto tho A. 8.
cause. They mny not be doing nil tho work.
They who scorn till nbiice on nccount of
principle, nnd bolicvo only in flinging that
nriiicinlo before tho public mind, nro tho
men w ho are bringing nhout tho abolition of
the wrong against which they are so con
tending nnd their bunds ought to be held up.
Now I can vote one day in tho year against
shivery, and think it my duly to do so, but
every other day I want tho burning coals of
truth to bo thrown upon the nation s naked
breast, nud hecaiiso you ore working thus
it is our duty os Free Soilers lo aid you in
your work.
IScsjdcs, wc know that politicnl parties are
a very imcei lain sort of machinery, we do
not know to whnt huso uses theso organiza
tions mny be put, nud we want n force out
side of them, something to fall back upon in
the day of trial when iheso parties fail us.
Wo need a body who will bo faithful nnd
w ho w ill apply tho principles of truth con
tinually. 1 have engaged for life in this
work, but I om going to bo a man. A free
man. Free to adopt nny views, nny instru
mentalities, which 1 think will advance tho
good cause, und although I vote, I believe
that tho great instrumentality after nil, is the
" foolishness of preaching." Tho work is lo
ho dono by exposing tho damning deeds of
Slavery, Iho abominations of iho church, in
short by ngitntion. Agitate, agitate. 1 his is
the grund instrumentality, nnd without this
you Free Soilers will come to nothing. I
go as a Liberty party man (or sustaining ull
tho moral movements of thn country. 1
hnvo no iden thnt you abolitionists of tho
W. A. S. Society, will over be uhlo to bring
ull tho people up to your platform; nud it is
not necessary, for long before you have con
verted iho whole people to your doctrine of
"No union with Slaveholders," shivery will
he blotted out. Go on then with your
preaching, you can nil do something, both
men nnd women.
It is the poor man's work. Tho rich nud
noble will not do il. I know whnt it is to
get a living by rolling casks on the w harves,
nnd sweeping chimnies, and such like, and
this mnkes mo able to sympathise with the
poor, und tho bound everywhere. It is not
to the lieh thut wo are to look but to the
poor, to the hurdhnndud w orking men of the
country, these tire the men w ho nro to come
lo the rescue of tho slave. 1 tell you my
friends nnd fellow citizens, Ihcro is room
enough for us nil, there is a niche in the
temple of Itcform for every body. Aboli
tionism has mndo me u great num, (heg par
don for the rgntism,) hut it delivered me
from the bondage of seetat iuii'sm anil priest
craft, from tho bondage of my color even,
und false notions of human brotherhood,
nud has opened the wido world of humanity,
und taught me (hat thniigh my heart is small,
yel there every man under thu wide canopy
of heaven can find room. Why what has it
not done for me, for us nil ? It has taught
us thut we have u heart nnd conscience, thut
we are a part of the great whole of human
ity. Let us up then und he doing, und learn
to labor and lo n ail. What mutters il if you
nre few in numbers, let me tell you friends,
thnt even if n mini bo nlone nnd hu right, he

represent tho present stuto of things, he
represents iho future. If not what men are,
whut they ought to he. lie true then to
your convictions, and I will try and he Hue
to mine, und so fur as wo can, let us unite
for the common cause. J (lid not como
hero to subserve the interests or ends of
any pnrty, but to sulisurve the iineresis ot

Let us devote ourselves heart nnd hund to

from principle. If ihey nre so rensitive lo

If Duly constrains them to hold on to their

for their tenacious ownership of slaves. The
former nro a perpetual rebuke to Slavery,
nnd so must ho put out id' sight. Hut for

It is only when Iho slave ttnircs into n frcn
Slale, thai the Constitution, mid thn laws
under it, niil Iho master in his recovery. If
the slave ho voluntarily taken to a free coun
try by the master, that slavu becomes free ;
mid, I, ring onre free, but for a moment, our
law cannot make him a chive ngnin. We
hnvo derided this over nnd over. Tho

Generis had purchased n woman born n
slave, hut who had been allowed by her
iiiaetcr lo work in Indiana. Subsequently,
ho look her to Louisiana, sold her to Generis ;
she became dissathiicd with her condition,
sued for her freedom, und obtained it. So
in Iho case nf Mary Louisa vs. Marot, where
tho pl.iintill' had been taken to Franco to '

it.
